love the color homes, my Fly Mosca is similar in color to yours.
the build is solid, you will like it. One thing for us older fellows i will suggest to protect your wrists, either with tape or a wrist guard, you wont have the cushiness of a MTB fork. Maybe its just me but my right wrist has been getting worse lately.

Thanks for the good words. Yeah, I'm stoked on it for sure. I don't know if it will become my favorite. I love my Simple. But, I know it will be fun to switch it up with this. Plus, I think it will be good for my skillz. I picture it similar to how basketball players practice shooting through a smaller rim.

Nope. It's the same as yours, I think. 28-10. I might adjust it to try to get the wheel completely slammed with the chain tight. I'm going to put in a half link (just the link, not the chain) to see if that will do it.

I'm sure you know this, but there are some noobs out there that his might not dawn on....You can always just loosen the wheel, and pull the chain tight above and below the front sprocket. Wrap the chain around, and you can tell real fast exactly how long/short it needs to be, and whether you need a half-link.

Yeah, I did that and it was so close to making it that I tried it with one less link than is in there now. It actually fit, but was so tight I thought it was going to explode. I had to take the crank arm off to get the chain off. So, I added a link and ordered a half link.

I'm wondering if I had a chain shaped like the K710 chain if it would have worked. Don't those fit a little closer around the small drivers? When I get this chain super tight, I feel a little bump as it spins. Know what I mean?

bmx to mtb back to bmx = not a big deal
mtb to bmx = possible rude awakening

I used to think that, but it depends on the bike. I have only rode mt bikes and last winter for a few months I rode a friends BMX while my park bike was getting built up and it felt great. His bike was the only BMX I've felt comfortable on; if you get a bike that feels right to you its all good.

didn't take you long to return to the roots there! I'm sure we'll see some sick stuff from you on that rig. ...but, surpised we didn't see anything retro from you though, I know you're thinkin' it, haha! No chrome frame or bars, or tuff up front or anything...

sb317, maybe you're thinking of the big atomlab 26" compIII repros... ? they are just heavy as hell. I've got a couple of the authentic mitsuboshi's for the 24" and I like them a lot as a front tire.

and man, those trailmix pedals come with some SUPER tall pins in them. I don't like it, may try to find some shorter ones for mine, or possibly just hit'em with a grinder.
I think you'd dig the fatty rubens for dj too. Not nearly as light as the KHE's, but more tread for the dust.
I've been running a 710SL with a single cheap half-link most of this past season and it worked great, but I keep getting a tight kink right at the cheap half-link. I'd suggest looking for one of the Wipperman/Superstar half-links, much better quality than most other's...
and it's nice with the KMC chains since they come with a quick link so you don't have to remove the cranks if your wheel is slammed just to get the chain off... just take out the quick link when it's on the sprocket and your chain will be off in a minute, no hassle. I think full half-link chains are dead.

Naw, I was talking about the 20" version. They fit skinny compaired to the older monster truck style (2.125) from what I've read. I have'nt seen a newer one in person though. I was just saying people seem to like the fatter ones more.

Thanks. Yeah, I thought about going retro, but I dig how simple, light, and strong the new stuff is. I really wanted to get the new Mosh Steet Bars that have the sticker that looks like the old Vision Street Wear logo, but I couldn't find them anywhere. Or, if they had some chrome lumberjacks or classic dirts... I would have thought hard about that.

Yeah, I'm not sure on the trailmix pedals, yet. I've only ridden a little street so far. The platforms seem really big, which is kind of cool. I haven't noticed the pins being that tall, but maybe I will when I'm trying to move my feet around on the dirt.

Thanks for the info on the chain and tires. That's still a work in progress. I'll figure something out.

And, man, you guys are making it sound like I'm abandoning the two sixes. As long as I have room in my car, I'm bringing both bikes everywhere I go.... unless something crazy happens like tiles is talking about.

Even when I was racing bmx, my cruiser was always my favorite. :biggrin:

i love my 20 but im keeping my fall guy. thing is still insanely fun. cru if you get new bars ill gladly take your lumberjacks off of your hands. the khe's blow up a lot it seems, try to shy away from them. i gto a new wheel and sprocket hooked up, im stoked
